Chapter 17 Home visit

Afterwards, Li Zheng made a final decision.

The Li family was mostly at fault, and Hu Zi came to Xiao Li Baojiao to apologize.

Hu Ziniang wailed again and said that her eyes hurt. The old Wang family black girl blinded her eyes and asked for a tael of silver to cure her eyes.

Seeing the two families quarreling again, Lizheng had no choice but to find a barefoot doctor in the village. After checking the eyes of Hu Ziniang, it was true that he had to take medicine, but the medicinal materials would not cost a tael of silver, but only two hundred cash.

Because many people saw Er Yasa's chili noodles, Li Zheng was also a little bit troubled. He knew the poverty of the Wang family, and two hundred cash was not a small amount for the Wang family.

At this time, Old Xiucai Liu said directly: "I heard Huzi pushed Xiao Li into the tree hole. Fortunately, Xiao Li's life is great, so what if it's not a human life?"

Liu Zhihua hugged Jiaojiao and nodded in agreement: "That's right, my son's life is much more valuable than your eyes."

"I didn't!" Huzi shouted, scratching his neck.

Erya with her hips on her hips learned to shout: "I didn't sprinkle chili powder either!"

Mrs. Liu frowned, patted her clothes and got up and said: "Huzi, I saw you leading a group of children at the intersection that day. If you don't tell the truth, I will ask a few people to find out the truth."

Huzi took a step back in fright, grabbed his mother's hand and shook his head and said in a panic, "Anyway, it wasn't me, it was, he went in by himself."

Xiao Li frowned and said, "You let me get in!"

"That's because you are stupid. You have to earn copper coins. Anyway, it's none of my business." Huzi retorted, poking his neck.

Lizheng saw that there was something he didn't understand, so he directly frowned and said: "You will kill people at a young age, how did the Li family teach you?"

Hu Ziniang held her son in her arms and said: "It's not our fault, Hu Zi, the clang of Wang's family is poor, his stupid sons are trying to earn copper coins, one is willing to beat the other."

"Madam Li, since you don't want to admit that your son intends to kill him, then according to what you said, Xiao Li got into a tree hole, so can you give me the money your son promised?" Liu Weiqing's voice sounded.

Hu Ziniang choked, "You,"

He couldn't speak, but he scolded the Liu family in his heart. There are people from the old Liu family everywhere, this family is really nosy!

Lizheng heard it and thought it was reasonable, so he opened his mouth and said sternly: "The Li family, are you going to pay people money, or go to the yamen and be punished."

Hu Ziniang was scared, and finally, under the persuasion of Li's family, Hu Ziniang took out five copper coins, but was scolded by Li Zheng, "You hurt your eyes and extorted two taels of silver from others, and they picked it up." You give five copper coins for one life, isn't that disgusting!

In the end, Hu Ziniang was so painful that she published three hundred articles.

Although the Wang family doesn’t care much about his family’s money, they don’t want it for nothing. Three hundred cash can buy a little fine grain.

…

The next day,

Wang Zhuangzhi went to the town to buy eggs and fine grains before dawn. After buying them, Liu Zhihua divided the things into two parts, put one part in a basket and covered it with a piece of cloth.

Yesterday, Aunt Liu's family was helping, and she was going to bring things to the door to thank her.

Yesterday, due to that incident, the peanuts on the mountain hadn't been planted yet. Erya and Xiaoli helped daddy plant the seeds, and Liu Zhihua took Jiaojiao and took Qiusheng to Liu's house.

Liu's house is in the direction of Xiacun, a bit far from the village head, Liu Zhihua dared not walk fast while holding her daughter.

Jiaojiao looked at the grass along the road, and suddenly saw a forsythia plant, hugged her mother's neck softly and said, "Mother, I want that flower."

"Where is it?" Liu Zhihua looked back, but didn't see any flowers.

"The color is so bright and there are many fruits." Jiaojiao stretched out her little finger.

Qiu Sheng heard the words, walked in the direction the little girl pointed, and took a lot of effort to dig the thing up.

"That flower is not beautiful, mother picked beautiful morning glory for Jiaojiao." Liu Zhihua hugged Guaibao and coaxed.

Jiaojiao shook her head, "This is what I want."

"Hey, all right, your mother's sweetheart, let your elder brother pick whichever you want."

Qiu Sheng patted the excavated herb clean, returned it to the younger sister and said: "Jiaojiao, throw it away after playing with it, don't eat it by mistake."

Jiaojiao obediently nodded and said, "Okay~"

The three talked while walking, and arrived at Liu's house before they knew it.

Liu Family,

The big house with blue bricks and red tiles, with a door plaque hanging exquisitely, looks like a scholarly family home.

In the yard, Aunt Liu is hanging melon shreds.

Suddenly saw a family of three entering the door, she put down what she was doing, wiped her hands and quickly walked up to her with a smile, and asked, "Zhihua, I am willing to bring your sweetheart to visit today, have you three children eaten yet?"

Liu Zhihua replied with a smile: "Eat, the leftover chicken soup from yesterday gave them some pimples."

Holding Forsythia jiaojiao in her arms, Tiantian yelled at others: "Hello, auntie~"

Qiu Sheng saluted and greeted: "Ma'am."

"They are all good children, Jiaojiao's little mouth is so sweet, Lai Da Niang hugged her into the house to find candy."

Aunt Liu took off the old cloth around her body, patted her body with her hands before taking Jiaojiao.

Jiaojiao was very obedient, Aunt Liu hugged her back to the house and took out a handful of pine nut candy, Liu Laoxiu saw Jiaojiao also got up and teased a few words in a strange way, the two of them only had grandsons and no granddaughters, and they were envious when they saw other people's little girls.

Jiaojiao is a girl, and Zhou Zheng's cute and well-behaved appearance is even more rare.

Liu Zhihua casually put the basket she brought on the wooden table, rubbed her hands together and said with a smile: "Yesterday, thanks to the blessing of Liu's family, I got three hundred cash for nothing. The head of the family went to the town early in the morning to buy things and bring them back. Don't be disgusted. How much is it?" It's our heart."

"Wei Qing is going back to school in the afternoon. We are the only ones who don't need anything at home. You can take it back and let Jiaojiao eat it." Aunt Liu shook her head and waved her hand and said no.

"I still have it at home. This is for you. If you don't take it, you have to take it. Otherwise, I won't dare to come to your house in the future." Liu Zhihua laughed.

Their family is poor, but they have always known how to measure, and they don't like to take advantage of others.

A good relationship between neighbors and neighbors needs to be maintained by two families. You can’t blindly ask for money and not pay just because someone has money. That kind of relationship won’t last long.

At this time, Jiaojiao said in a waxy voice, "Auntie~ Jiaojiao wants to go to the ground."

After walking away from home in the arms of her mother for a while, she was already sweating a little, but now she felt very hot when she entered the room and was hugged by her mother.

"Ma'am let you down now, you can play in the house by yourself."

After Jiaojiao was put down, she was curious to see Grandpa Xiucai writing.

"Master, can you tell stories by writing?" Jiaojiao asked with her head tilted.

Old Xiucai Liu smiled, and asked softly: "What does Jiaojiao want to hear?"

Jiaojiao looked at the forsythia in her hand and suddenly her eyes lit up, she held up the herb and said, "Let's talk about this."

Old Xiucai Liu stared at it carefully, wrote the word forsythia with a pen, and said with a smile: "this herb is called forsythia, and the leaves bloom in early spring. The flowers bloom with a light fragrance, and the branches are golden yellow. There are many prescriptions It can be found everywhere, and it is a good medicine for curing diseases.”

"Wow, master is so amazing!" Jiaojiao's eyes sparkled, and then she asked happily: "Master, how much silver taels can the forsythia sell for?"
